Greater Than Yourself

“TRULY GREAT LEADERS IN LIFE BECOME SO BECAUSE
THEY CAUSE OTHERS TO BE GREATER THAN THEMSELVES.”

–STEVE FARBER

Welcome to a path-breaking approach to leadership development in the business world and daily life. Steve Farber—accomplished author, motivational speaker and entrepreneur—offers innovative perspective, thought-provoking ideas and actionable principles to help you and yours become leaders of substance and influence…

…equipped to change the world for the better, one person at a time.

Greater Than Yourself is a powerful and inspiring story that shows how the goal of a leader is to lift others higher than themselves. A great leader will encourage teammates, employees, and colleagues to become more capable, confident and accomplished than they are themselves.

GTY IN ACTION:

Steve interviews bestselling authors, Patrick Lencioni (The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, The Three Big Questions for a Frantic Family), and Matthew Kelly (The Dream Manager, The Rhythm of Life: Living Every Day with Passion and Purpose) about their unique GTY relationship. Pat and Matthew are crystal clear about the philosophy behind GTY, and through their actions and insight, they provide a sterling example for the rest of us to emulate.

GTY AROUND THE WORLD:

Steve presented the Greater Than Yourself approach to the staff and students of Up With People, a non-profit international youth leadership development program. He then challenged each of the staff to choose someone as their GTY Project as they traveled around the world for a six-month tour. See how they struggled with and ultimately succeeded in putting GTY into practice.
